Description

P{lacW} is inserted between nucleotides 449 and 450 (where the drl transcription start site is at nucleotide 487). The insertion sites of P{etau-lacZ}drlP3.765 and P{lacW}pigeonP1 are identical.

The P{etau-lacZ}drlP3.765 insertion in drlP3.765 is inserted at the same nucleotide as the P{lacW}pigeonP1 insertion.

Insertion of P{lacW} between pigeon and drl, in the 5' non-coding region of drl.

Detailed Description
Statement
Reference

drlP1/drlR343 mushroom body α axons can show either mistargeting or aberrant midline crossing, but not both phenotypes together.

Mutant animals show decreased 1 hour memory that is further reduced by aging.

Homozygotes display very weak adult brain defects. In about 5% of flies, fibres abnormally cross the midline above the fan-shaped body. The β lobes are partially fused in about a quarter of flies.

The fan-shaped body is sometimes slightly flattened at the top compared to wild-type in homozygous adults. A cluster of cell bodies reaches the top of the fan-shaped body, but the number of cell bodies in this cluster can be strongly reduced. A partial fusion of the β lobes is seen in about 70% of animals. The α lobes appear thinner than wild-type in some flies.

In contrast to lack of brain defects reported in FBrf0083785, P{lacW}pigeonP1/Df(2L)VA12 adults show brain defects. The fan-shaped body is distorted on its dorsal side, where axonal structures replace cell bodies. The α lobes of the mushroom bodies are reduced and the β lobes are fused or juxtaposed. Mutant flies show some pupal lethality, indicating a developmental defect as well as a learning and memory defect for the P{lacW}pigeonP1 chromosome.

Comments

P{lacW}pigeonP1 is inserted 800 bp downstream of the pigeon transcription unit, perhaps in the 5'UTR of drl. In fact, the P{etau-lacZ} in drlP3.765, is inserted 6 bp away from the pigeonP1 allele. The P{lacW} insertion in the pigeonP1 mutant could therefore be causing an additional drl phenotype.

Aspects of the expression pattern of P{lacW}pigeonP1 correspond to that of drl.
